Pedal/FX to make electric guitar sound like acoustic guitar??

[Beedster]

What it says above really? We have feedback issues using acoustics and need our singer/guitarist to stick to an electric, whilst wanting an acoustic or near-acoustic sound for some songs

Cheers

Ah beat me to it! I think there are one or two others out there - but I reckon this one will be a good bet.

Yeah one of guitar players uses one of these, very convincing piezo simulation.

I thought they were on AC-3 now? Anyway, my guitarist has one and it's great.

yep as with everything guitar related, when you want reliable, giggable and decent sounding -

Go to Boss
Go Directly to Boss
Do not pass boutique
Do not spend £200.

there might well be an ac3, but IIUC, the wisdom is that the ac2 is superior

They always say the older ones are better.

I used to know a band who's guitarist used an AC2 and he just couldn't get it to sound right through his amp - too brittle, so he had to make himself a switcher so he could cut his amp and feed a DI to the PA from the AC2. My guitarist has an AC3 and it sounds great through his amp or DI'd. Make of that what you will!

Thanks very much for the above guys, seems pretty unanimous, so guess what I've suggested our guit*rist does.......?

I think that was the original problem, this thread could become a feedback loop.
